Description/Reviews: 

Karibow's work is primarily influenced by pop, rock and neo-progressive music, but these ingredients are merged into a new and appealing, contemporary world of sound. The tense and dramatic compositions combine catchy melodic vocal archs, highly complex grooves and comprehensively designed guitar work with cinematic and spherical keyboard sounds.
Karibow's expressive musical arrangements invite you to get involved with an emotionally moving and intense listening experience.
